Good morning everyone!!!
I hope everyone has been having a great week so far!
On a more serious note I wanted to share with you providers and incident that occurred a few days ago and I am so outraged at the behaviors of parents (mainly moms).
A friend of mine told me to look on a local group "baby wearing mothers" because they were bashing a local home daycare provider. To be honest I didn't really believe too much as my friend tends to exaggerate! Lol But in this case there was no exaggeration. A provider terminated daycare with a client because their child was unable to get adjusted to daycare and made no progress in terms of napping. The provider told them she has the right to terminate the contract and withhold the deposit after a 2 or 3 wees time time but told the family she didn't want to do this that she in fact wanted to set up a sleep training schedule and have they family set up a napping routine that is realistic for a daycare to do at daycare with for other kids. She said as soon as a routine is set in place we can start full-time care. The family wanted the provider to wear the child or have the mother return to daycare at nap time to nurse the baby every day at nap time!!!!!!!!! She said no way and if that is what you are expecting then I cannot help you. They terminated their own contract.
What really gets me is that all this happened in October and the bashing occurred I think on Monday. The provider commented on this post and set them straight lol What was originally being said in the beginning is that she terminates families with no notice and keeps the deposit but after she explained what happened no one brought this up then they starting bashing her for not allowing AP clients and that she was a terrible provider for stating that AP children are not for a group setting and that she does this job for money not for the love of children, someone else said how good daycare dont terminate children because they dont adjust they work with the families and the child, another starting. From what I have heard the provider is very upset as she feels everything she worked for was runnined in a few minutes and she fears to advertise on facebook becuase she thinks people will leave more negative comments.
Has anyone else ever been through this?
